Résumé

Eddy current dampers (ECD) can be used to introduce damping in rotordynamic applications. ECD5 are contactless in nature and can be made to introduce negligible drag force, thus being a perfect match for passive magnetic bearings such as permanent magnet bearings and superconducting bearings. However, modeling and estimating the amount of damping introduced by an ECD is a difficult task due to complicated geometry and working conditions. The present study presents a novel method for modeling and identification of the damping characteristics of ECD5 for rotordynamic applications. The proposed method employs an analytical dynamic model of the ECD and curve fitting with results of electromagnetic finite element (FE) models to obtain the parameters characterizing the ECD's mechanical impedance. The damping coefficient can be obtained with great accuracy from a single FE solution in quasistatic conditions. The validity of the proposed method is limited to the case of ECD5 employing an axisymmetric conductor, such as a disc or a cylinder, thus covering most cases in rotordynamic applications. Finally, the accuracy of the identification procedure is verified experimentally by comparing the model's results with experimental tests. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Méthode d'Euler

En mathématiques, la méthode d'Euler, nommée ainsi en l'honneur du mathématicien Leonhard Euler (1707 — 1783), est une procédure numérique pour résoudre par approximation des équations différentielles du premier ordre avec une condition initiale. C'est la plus simple des méthodes de résolution numérique des équations différentielles. thumb|Illustration de la méthode d'Euler explicite : l'avancée se fait par approximation sur la tangente au point initial.

Sustentation électromagnétique

La sustentation électromagnétique est une méthode permettant de faire léviter un objet en le faisant reposer sur un champ magnétique. Les forces magnétiques appliquées à cet objet s'opposent ainsi à l'action de son propre poids, empêchant sa chute. Il existe deux concepts fondamentaux concernant la physique et les propriétés de lévitation de la matière : le concept électromagnétique (EML) : la lévitation est générée par des électroaimants régulés.

Damping factor

In an audio system, the damping factor gives the ratio of the rated impedance of the loudspeaker (usually assumed to be 8Ω) to the source impedance of the power amplifier. Only the magnitude of the loudspeaker impedance is used, and the power amplifier output impedance is assumed to be totally resistive. In typical solid state and tube amplifiers, the damping factor varies as a function of frequency. In solid state amplifiers, the damping factor usually has a maximum value at low frequencies, and it reduces progressively at higher frequencies.
